Eega (2012) - Music Review

Eega is a much
awaited project from Rajamouli. He was able to keep the excitement
sustained in the audience for so long. Finally the audio is launched in a
typical Rajamouli house way. Obviously the story about Eega will give
less chance for having regular commercial songs. Seems like there is a
love thread that goes between Lead characters so there has to be one or
two love songs and then the rest of focus should go to Eega. Rajamouli
never deviated so far from MM keeravani as his Music director. Their
team effort is clearly seen in many of their earlier films as they have a
different level of understanding. With this genre movies where the
focus is on Eega, the movie has to go hand in hand with the Story. Thats
why this movie has only 4 songs. The title song had a remix version,
again is a space filler. Lyrics department is shared across and each
song is written by different lyricist. From the theatrical trailer, the
story can be imaginable. However how the visual feast will be created by
Rajamouli will be the curiosity that viewers will have in mind and what
was the effort that took almost 2 years for the movie in making will be
known soon, when the movie will be released.

1. Nene Nanee Ne Artist(s): Deepu, Sahiti Lyricist: MM. Keeravani

The album
started with a pretty feel good song. Deep started very well, assisted
by simple instrumentation. The rhythm pattern is heard many times before
but added value to this song. Deepu is an asset to this song, though
he needs to work a little on high notes. Sahiti is limited to humming
part doesn't get any space for her own. Keeravani wrote simple lyrics.
Overall a good hummable song the phrase "kanapadina ok, kanumarugoutunna
ok" will haunt and finally ends on a good note.

Naani, is the
buzz word for this album, Nene naani, My name is naanee. Rama jogayya
sastry, has written multi lingual song, not sure why. The audio release
showed a count down numbers of 10, this song in movie might explain
what is all about the number counting. High paced number. As the song
goes by, the pattern, and rhythm gets pace and slowly peaks at times.
Eega movie should have the sound of the Eega, this comes in the end of
the song. Situational song, every singer has put good effort to bring in
the effects that are required for the song. Rahul was given two songs
in Keeravani's earlier movie Dammu, and he gets another chance. He might
have impressed Keeravani so much. Suprisingly female singers get less
footage in this entire album.

3. Konchem Konchem Artist(s): Vijay Prakash Lyricist: Ananth Sriram

Ananth
Sriram excelled in this song. Pisinaari Naarive, Pisaranta palakave, aa
kanche tenchave ivvalaina was nice phrase. Keeravani added stylish tune,
the rest of the colors and presented this song in a amicable way.
Keeravani is adopting new ways of composing to please young audience.
Wazz up is done for the same I guess. Obviously he doesn't have any
choice. Vijay Prakash did a decent job and another fine song from
Keeravani.

Another stylish
presentation from Keeravani, but Anuj failed to present this song.
"Lava Lava, gundelo laava, vennello marige valcano nuvva" sounded
strainful and stressful. He lacked the voice range and also failed to do
justice to words. Again Shivani is limited to humming and chorus.
Keeravani gave high voltage music but somehow it lacked few things to
impress.

5. Ee Ga Ee Ga Ee Ga ( Remix) Lyricist: Rama Jhogaya Sastry

Added a voice of Eega for this remix song. The sound of Eega also mixed randomly throughout.

Pick(s) of the album: Nene Nanee ne, Konchem Konchem

Keeravani
presented a new perspective of himself through this movie. He didn't go
wrong and the expectations are met. He gave what the movie wanted and
two nice songs to please other audience and the team succeeded another
time. With expectations that Rajamouli will provide a visual treat, this
music might be appearing too minute if he can succeed what everyone
expects. All the best for the team.
